Hi,<br><br>I've already done a brief introduction on the IRC channel, but I understand a more formal e-mail hello to the debian-multimedia team is required. I'm Eric Hedekar, one of the newer Ubuntu Studio developers and general linux audio enthusiast. I've yet to seriously contribute to Debian in any way, but from what I've learned, the best way to upload to Ubuntu is actually through Debian so I'm hoping to get into that habit as I continue to package more multimedia applications.<br>
<br>Due to my lack of Debian uploads, I'll instead talk about my Ubuntu uploads and contributions. Here's my <a href="http://launchpad.net">launchpad.net</a> profile: <a href="https://launchpad.net/~stochastic">https://launchpad.net/~stochastic</a> and here's my <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com">wiki.ubuntu.com</a> page: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EricHedekar">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EricHedekar</a><br>
Essentially I've packaged a few applications that have been accepted into Ubuntu repositories and am getting a firm grasp on how to update and bugfix packages. One of the next projects I'm planning is to package a large number of LV2 plugins and hosts and I'd like to do this in Debian with time to spare to import them into Ubuntu for Lucid's release (April 2010). I'd like to get calf-plugins, a2jmidid, and xjadeo (packages I've uploaded to Ubuntu) into Debian and maintain them accordingly. I'm also in the process of updating (and becoming the maintainer for) muse.<br>
<br>Here is the page to my alioth account: <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/users/hedekar-guest/">https://alioth.debian.org/users/hedekar-guest/</a> I've subscribed to pkg-multimedia-maintainers and pkg-multimedia-commits and look forward to helping out on many unexpected bugs to come.<br>
<br>Like I said, I'm really new to Debian development (though as a user I started out my linux life here), so if I ask a silly question please laugh with vigor before telling me off. Also, please don't hesitate to correct my misconceptions of protocol at anytime as I'm sure that's the main difference between Ubuntu and Debian. Thanks.<br>
